Typical Applications

EPEQ® IM is flexible in its design and can be installed in virtually any vehicle. You can select the accessories that are ideal for your fleet and goals. No matter the sector, no matter the vehicle, EPEQ® IM can reduce your costs and ensure your drivers/operators have access to the same functions and features they use when their vehicle’s engine is running.

Utilities and Public Works

Utility fleets often idle while preparing for the work to be done and powering loads such as lighting and power tools.

Work Trucks

Due to the nature of construction and repair work, work trucks can idle for more than half their lifespan.

Emergency Medical

You can’t predict the nature of an emergency situation, but EPEQ® IM allows you to control your fleet’s idling time at the scene.

Policing and Security

Policing and security agencies are always under pressure to reduce costs.

Mining and Metals

Mining is all about the cost of production. If a vehicle is idling, it is burning up profits both in fuel and maintenance costs.

Military and Defense

Fuel costs and logistics are not the only challenges faced by military and defense vehicles.

Airport and Airline

Ground support vehicles at airports can spend hours idling due to delays, maintenance and repairs, and loading/unloading.

Port Authority and Container Terminals

If you are responsible for meeting corporate investments, operations, and sustainability targets.

Security

Anti-Theft Feature ensures vehicles remain operational and secure while the driver is away. EPEQ® IM controls the shifter lock to prevent the vehicle from being put into drive. If the vehicle is put into drive, the engine will stall—the key is required to start the vehicle.
Secured GSM Connection does not connect directly to the vehicle itself. Instead, it connects to EPEQ® IM’s private network controller, preventing any position or vehicle control breach.

Safeties

EPEQ® IM only activates in park or neutral — When speed is 0 km/h speed, hood is closed, and RPM is at idle
Access to essential functions — EPEQ® IM places the key in the run position to keep air bags operational and maintain access to necessary systems (e.g., windshield wipers, power windows, lights etc.)
Distraction-free driving — Operator screen turns off when the vehicle is in drive
Hood sensor — EPEQ® IM will not engage when the vehicle’s hood is up to ensure operator and technician safety
Override switch — Throttle Override – Allow operators to temporarily override when safety situations occur
Default operation — Drivers can manually start and stop EPEQ® IM if the system encounters an issue
Job Specific Operation — When specific jobs require the vehicle to be running, EPEQ® IM can use signals from equipment such as PTO, lighting, air compressors and others to keep the engine on when needed.

More than Idling Management

EPEQ® IM not only controls idling, it provides data that can help fleet managers understand the energy needs of their vehicles, allowing them to predict and manage consumption even in newer hybrid vehicles.
